This week our shop has been guiding/teaching the drift boat, river floating section of the
NOLS fly fishing program. The kids have been great and the fishing has really picked up the last two days for the students. One of the joys of working the
NOLS program is that sometimes I get to fish while my students are learning how to row and position a boat for fishing. This is a 19 inch rainbow that slammed a streamer in the middle of the hot day! We had to measure him to see if it was the first 20
incher of the week! Just an inch short, but a solid fish!
This however, was the first legit 2o
incher of the week. She worked this pool for over 15 minutes, throwing drys, droppers and finally a big white streamer! Her second cast with the white death ended up being slammed by this monster rainbow! She did an awesome job fighting the fish to the net and finishing the deal!
We had not even floated a mile down river after the monster rainbow and after eating lunch for a while, Gusty hooked up on this monster brown! Same fly as the rainbow! After this fish, she was
absolutely hooked on streamer fishing!
